So, basically just like how goths called people "Conformist" and shunned them. Got it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes yes, but it's more than that. As azeth noted above, it's also about knowing that you, the hipster, are incredibly talented at seeing stuff that's underrated, as well as maligning those overrated, "mainstream" or formerly referred to as "bourgeoisie" elements of culture.

It's about liking things for the sole purpose that you feel like you're the first to like them, or disliking them because you feel like everyone else already likes it. You have to be totally reactionary and are bothered by anyone trying to label you, since a label implies mainstream recognition and must therefore be shunned.
